Pictured for the first time: The limestone piece of rock on which 'Jesus was resurrected after crucifixion' 
The stone slab was inside a chamber of Jesus's tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
The surface, encased in marble since at least 1555 AD, was exposed during restoration work last week
Now after an intense 60-hour scientific analysis, researchers said portions of the tomb are still present
The analysis revealed a limestone burial shelf and a second marble slab with a cross carved into its surface
Tomb has now been resealed - and may not be reopened for hundreds, or possibly thousands, of years.
The limestone slab where Jesus Christ's body is said to have been laid out after his crucifixion has been pictured for the the first time.
The historic tomb where he is said to have been 'rested' and his body anointed was opened last week for the first time since at least 1555 AD - and scientists were given 60 hours of access before it was resealed.
After removing the marble slab that encased the tomb, scientists at the University of Athens and National Geographic were stunned to find a limestone burial shelf intact and a second marble slab with a cross carved into its surface.
